Technical Definition

The register Battery Capacity at address 588 is used to monitor battery capacity on the Esp32 S3 Zero Deye8K.

  • Protocol: Modbus RTU
  • Data Type: U WORD
  • Unit: %
  • Access: Read Only

How to Read (Python pymodbus)

Use this code snippet to read this specific value via RS485:

from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusSerialClient

client = ModbusSerialClient(method='rtu', port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
client.connect()

# Read Battery Capacity (Address: 588)
# Note: Check if your device uses 0-based or 1-based addressing
result = client.read_input_registers(address=588, count=2, unit=1)

if not result.isError():
    print(f"Raw Value: {result.registers}")
else:
    print("Error reading register")

client.close()

Integration (Home Assistant)

Paste this into your configuration.yaml:

- platform: modbus_controller
  name: "Battery Capacity"
  address: 588
  value_type: U_WORD
  unit_of_measurement: "%"

Connection Diagram

Here is the standard RS485 wiring for this configuration:

💡 Engineer's Insight

Analysis: The rated capacity of the battery. Units: Ah (Ampere-hours).

Troubleshooting: Reading may be fixed or change if the system can dynamically assess capacity. A 0 reading is unlikely for a functional battery.
